Version control

This book is a recipe-based approach to using the CVS Version Control system that will get you up and running quickly--and correctly. All projects need version control: it's a foundational piece of any project's infrastructure. Yet half of all project teams in the U.S. don't use any version control at all. Many others don't use it well, and end up experiencing time-consuming problems.

Version Control with Git takes you step-by-step through ways to track, merge, and manage software projects, using this highly flexible, open source version control system.
Git permits virtually an infinite variety of methods for development and collaboration. Created by Linus Torvalds to manage development of the Linux kernel, it's become the principal tool for distributed version control. But Git's flexibility also means that some users don't understand how to use it to their best advantage.

Pragmatic Version Control Using Git is an excellent guide to getting you started with Git. It will teach you not only how to get yourself started but also how to cooperate with others and how to keep your history clean. Pieter de Bie Author, GitX If you are thinking of using Git, I highly recommend this book. If you are not using a version control system

Git – is free software which enables you to maintain different versions of single or multiple directory contents, and allows you to switch back and forth between them at any given point of time. It also allows multiple people to work on the same file collaboratively or in parallel, without being connected to a server or any other centralized system continuously.

In the world of open-source software, the Concurrent Versions System (CVS) was the tool of
choice for version control for many years. And rightly so. CVS was open-source software itself,
and its non-restrictive modus operandi and support for networked operation allowed dozens of
geographically dispersed programmers to share their work. It fit the collaborative nature of the
open-source world very well. CVS and its semi-chaotic development model have since become
cornerstones of open-source culture....

Since you happen to be reading through the opening pages of Foundation Version Control for Web
Developers then it’s safe to say you have some interest in finding out a little bit more about version control.
It may be true that this new interest isn’t actually your own, but instead comes from a friend, colleague, or
employer who thinks getting a bit more knowledge on the subject would be beneficial to you.

I expected a lot, but you surprised me with even more. Having used CVS for years I hesitated to try Subversion until now, although I knew it would solve many of the shortcomings of CVS. After reading your book, my excuses to stay with CVS disappeared. Oh, and coming from the Pragmatic Bookshelf this book is fun to read too. Thanks Mike. Steffen Gemkow Managing Director, ObjectFab GmbH I’m a long-time user of CVS and I’ve been skeptical of Subversion, wondering if it would ever be “ready for prime time.” Until now. Thanks to Mike Mason for writing a clear,...

The problem with such FAQs is that they are not, in a literal sense, FAQs at all. No one ever called the tech support line and asked,
“How can we maximize productivity?” Rather, people asked highly specific questions, such as “How can we change the calendaring
system to send reminders two days in advance instead of one?” and so on. But it's a lot easier to make up imaginary Frequently

Ladder diagram (LAD) and function block diagram (FBD) are the graphic-oriented programming languages in the programming software STEP 7. Now in its fourth edition, this book introduces in the latest version of STEP 7 with new functions for Windows vista. It describes elements and applications for use with both SIMATIC S7-300 and SIMATIC S7-400 including the applications with PROFINET. It is aimed at all users of SIMATIC S7 controllers.

The NASA Mars Sojourner rover inspired this project
. I followed the mission
with great enthusiasm and witnessed a giant leap in robotics that day
it began roaming the Martian terrain and sending images back to earth.
Though I was in awe when the Viking missions of the 1970’s were in
progress, we didn’t see that near real-time interaction with the craft
.

Subversion is the perfect tool to track individual changes when several people collaborate on documentation or, particularly, software development projects. As a more powerful and flexible successor to the CVS revision control system, Subversion makes life so much simpler, allowing each team member to work separately and then merge source code changes into a single repository that keeps a record of each separate version.
